Pages With Deferred Processing

Several pages in PeopleSoft Real Estate Management operate in deferred processing mode. Most fields on these pages are not updated or validated until you save the page or refresh it by clicking a button, link, or tab. This delayed processing has various implications for the field values on the page—for example, if a field contains a default value, any value you enter before the system updates the page overrides the default. Another implication is that the system updates quantity balances or totals only when you save or otherwise refresh the page.

Common Elements Used in This Book

Business Unit	Identification code that represents a high-level organization of business information. Use a business unit to define regional or departmental units within a larger organization.
Effective Date	Date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing would be July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages or panels and batch processes that use the information use the current row. See PeopleSoft PeopleTools PeopleBook: Using PeopleSoft Applications, "Working with Pages," Using Effective Dates
Effective Status	Indicates whether a row in a table is Active or Inactive. You cannot display inactive rows on transaction pages or use them for running batch processes. Inactivate rather than delete data you no longer use in order to maintain an audit trail.
Fund	An accounting entity established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. This is a delivered PeopleSoft ChartField, specific use of which is typically defined by your organization during implementation of PeopleSoft General Ledger.
Fund Affiliate	ChartField used to correlate transactions between funds when using a single intraunit account.
Landlord	An entity that owns and rents land, buildings, or dwelling units.
Language or Language Code	The language in which you want the field labels and report headings of your reports to print. The field values appear as you enter them. Language also refers to the language spoken by an employee, applicant, or non-employee.
Lease	Legally binding agreement between a landlord and a tenant where the tenant rents all or part of a physical property from the landlord.
Operating Unit	ChartField used to identify a location, such as a distribution warehouse or sales center.
Payee	The entity to whom a payment must be made.
Payor	The entity who is required to make a payment.
Process Frequency	Select the appropriate frequency from the drop-down box: Process Once: Executes the request the next time the batch process runs. After the batch process runs, the process frequency is automatically set to Don't Run. Don't Run: Ignores the request when the batch process runs. Always Process: Executes the request every time the batch process runs.
Process Monitor	A link that accesses the Process List page, where you can view the status of submitted process requests. See PeopleSoft PeopleTools PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Process Scheduler, "Understanding PeopleSoft Process Scheduler."

Request ID	A request identification that represents a set of selection criteria for a report or process.
